Preparation

  • To make the pastry dough, heat up the oil over medium low heat.

  • Add the warm oil and butter into the all-purpose flour, combine and mix well.

  • Add the warm water and salt (for pastry dough) into the flour mix and knead until a dough forms, wrap it up and rest the dough for 20 minutes.

  • To make the filling, sauté the shallots until soft, add the chicken and cook it 70% through, remove from heat to cool.

  • Combine the chicken, potatoes, salt (for filling), and all the spices including McCormick Turmeric powder, McCormick Garlic Powder and McCormick Coarse Ground Black Pepper, mix well. Add a little water if mix is too dry (optional).

  • Divide both the pastry dough and filling into 15 portions each, dust with all-purpose flour to prevent sticking.

  • Roll each pastry dough into a flat disc, pack the filling into the middle of the disc and fold in half to seal, press out any air pockets.

  • Using a fork, press the edges of the pastry to seal tight.

  • Heat up oil in a pot to about 175 degree Celsius, fry the curry puffs until light golden brown.
